Thread: Political Discussion: My Thoughts on being Pro-Life

Thanks Occipitalred! I've reported the first posts as religious / right-wing propaganda to help Hilary see how extreme the position is.

@Hilary, your main point is that "Personal freedom STOPS when it actively harms another person", but you also said:

[...] How can a teenage girl who's been raped make that choice?

Can you tell me how imposing your belief here does not actively harm the child that has already gone through such trauma!? You want them to just deal with it and live with it for another 9 months!? Then give birth even if they might not be ready for it, physically or otherwise!? Sorry, but that is active harming another person no matter how you spin it. But, please - be my guest and help me understand how you are not actively harming the victim here with your beliefs.

On the subject of actively harming other people: what if not getting an abortion endangers the life of the mother? Do you expect her to carry to term no matter the risk and still maintain that imposing your belief on other's bodies somehow doesn't actively harm them?

There can't be a discussion if your reasoning is irrational and incorrect. Your beliefs on this were politically manufactured and paid for so you vote against your own interests.
